If you are driving your friend's car, I dont see why you need Singapore driving licence. But you better make sure your friend's car insurance has your name added as the additional driver. Else kena accident and reported that you are the driver... you fren insurance company will not pay for the damages.

The way i read it is that if you continue stay in sg for more than 12 months (and never exit singapore) then you cannot drive car without sg licence. Even if it is Msia car also cannot. But if you every now and then go back to malaysia, then should not be a problem since Msia is part of the ASEAN countries.

Also, make sure you have proper insurance when driving the car. private car, better make sure you got the necessary insurance i.e: you are one of the named driver in the policy. Else later accident, you (or your fren) may have to pay for damages from your own pocket.

BTW, I got friends working here with EP everyday driving with a malaysia licence. so not a problem.

If you really plan to work long term in SG, better get your licence converted.

Try this website. Got my last room from this website.

Best if you check with your company on which bank they are using to credit your salary. Same bank meaning you will get the money normally on the same day the company process your salary with the bank. else, there might be 1 working day delay.

Check with the bank on the minimum sum required to open a bank account. different account different requirement. I opened my first account with POSB with S$10.

OCBC, IIRC, requires S$500 for a statement saving account.

My friend is working with a contractor and was given a car to drive. Malaysia License driving a singapore registered company car.

It is not really the problem with driving licence that i see here rather, the issue of having a proper insurance while driving. Accident in Singapore can cost you lot of money if the insurance company reject your claim.

Like this case where the driver claim he 'lightly' kissed a taxi but kena claim $9k from the passanger.

Just for your info.

As you said, if kena get caught. As he has yet to be stopped by TP yet, I don't know if this applies.
What I said was based on the previous post by tailtwist that mentioned

"To continue driving in Singapore after 12 months of staying here (from the date of your last entry into Singapore), you must obtain a valid Singapore driving licence."

In my opinion, it is better to get your licence converted if you are working in Singapore long term and planning to drive in Singapore. SG licence is valid for use in Malaysia also and there is no restriction like the 12 months thingy in SG. Best still, it is valid for life. No expiry date, no need pay money renew. Though I did hear my other friends say their SG licence got validity period. Anyone can confirm?

Well, my apologies if what I said made everyone think that it is okay to drive with a Malaysia driving licence in Singapore after you have been working here for more than 1 year. I would just like to make it clear that if you are planning to be in Singapore for long term, it is best you get your licence converted.

I think the link given by deodorant is very clear on the legal requirement of driving in Singapore. Let's not debate further on this matter.

No wonder. That just took the icing off the cake. You will need to pay $50 also for the processing fee. ie: the cost will be $10 per year!

I believe you will need to renew your EP if you have yet to receive your PR. Call up ICA to ask if in doubt.
